Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare a box of chicken Rice-a-Roni according to the package directions. Add cream of chicken soup and milk to the cooked rice and stir to combine. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  3. Stir together shredded chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Separate crescent rolls into 12 triangles. Top the large part of the crescent triangle with chicken mixture. Roll crescent rolls up and place them on top of the rice mixture.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Top the rolls with some extra shredded cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the unbaked rolls in the baking dish, covered tightly with foil. Bake them straight from the freezer for about 30-35 minutes.
  • Tip 3: Serve these rolls with a fresh garden salad or steamed veggies for a well-rounded meal.
  • Tip 4: Try using different flavored cream soups or adding spices like paprika or cayenne for a kick.
  • Tip 5: Use gluten-free crescent rolls and rice to cater to dietary needs while still enjoying the same flavors.
